Operation Fishbowl KINGFISH, 1962

Operation Fishbowl was a series of high-altitude nuclear tests in 1962 that were carried out by the United States as a part of the larger Operation Dominic nuclear test program. The Kingfish detonation occurred at 0210 (Johnston Island time) on November 1, 1962 and was the fourth successful detonation of the Fishbowl series. It was officially reported only as being a submegaton explosion, but most independent observers believe that it used the same 400 kiloton warhead as the Bluegill Triple Prime test, although one report by the U.S. federal government reported the test yield as 200 kilotons.
